TRITEA (Ancient city) PARNASSOS
The barbarians, while the Thessalians so guided their army, overran the whole
of Phocis. All that came within their power they laid waste to and burnt, setting
fire to towns and temples (Hdt. 8,32,2).
Marching this way down the river Cephisus, they ravaged everything that lay in
their way, burning the towns of Drymus, Charadra, Erochus, Tethronium, Amphicaea,
Neon, Pediea, Tritea, Elatea, Hyampolis, Parapotamii, and Abae, where there was
a richly endowed temple of Apollo, provided with wealth of treasure and offerings
(Hdt. 8,33,1).
